To all whom it may comm;

Be it known that I, 'RAL'PH R. RICHARD-1 soN, a citizen of the UnitedStates,'and a resident of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of"Illinois, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in Display-Cartons, of which I do declare the following tobe a-full, 'clear,and-exact description, reference being had. .to the accompanyingdrawing, forming apartiof this specificadisplay the advertisin matterfiat-ed'upon the inner surface of t e lid. he invention is directedmoreparticularly to providing improved meansfor, holding the lid ofthecarton in raised position and'the invention consists in thefeaturesof novelty hereinafter described, illustrated in the aocom:panying drawing'and particularly pointed out in the claims at the fendof this specifig i ward and rearward along the score line 12 cation.

Figure l is a paf viw of the blankfromwhich my improved. carton is made.Fig.

similar to Fig: 1, illustrating a Imodified form of the invention. Fig,4, isa View in vertical cross; section showing the carton made from theblank illustrated, in Fig.

with its lid raised. b

' The carton is preferably formed offa-smgle sheet of stiff paperfo'rcardboard;

the form ofthe inventionxillustrated Figs. 1 and 2,'designates the topWall and b the bottom wall of-a carton and 0 and 05;, denote,respectively, the front "and rear walls,*these'severalwallsfbeingintegral and their outlines being defined .by scored lines onwhich the blank will be folded in the" usual'way. Along one side ofthe-rear wall cl extends an attaching fla 2 which, when theblaiikisfolded in tubu ar shape, will be pasted to the under side of thetop wall 1 immediately behind the rear edge-of thelid Integral withopposite ends of the top and bottomwalls'are the end walls 3 bearinglocking flaps 4,- The ends'of thefront and rear walls a and d areprovided with stay Specification of Letters Patent.

At its/rear edge, the lid is connectedto the top along a score 12.

- The blank is folded on the score between the bottom I) and back'wall 0and the flap 2 is pasted to the rear edge p'ortion,of the inner face oftop a, and can be packed and shipped in this flat form. When put intouse, it 1s, distended and end walls 3 and flaps 4 and 5 folded toinclose the goods which are placed in the carton through one end,

in the usual manner. 1 I When the articles within the carton are to be'displayed, the eonnwtion portions 11' that holds" the lid e 'i nthe'plane of the top.

In the form of the invention illustrated in F igs; 3 and 4 of thedrawing, as in that here- .inbefore described, the various parts are*formed from a single sheet or blank and Q'pa'ic'ts"beari' likereference letters and nut e same'as in the form of the invention. aboveset forth; As shown in this merals are form of the invention, however,the bottom Wall 6 is provided with an edge flap 2 which when the blank.is folded in tubular form willlbe};bent upward and pasted along theinner face ofthe front wall 0, as illustrated in .F i (1 of'the drawing.

In. t is modified form of the invention, the

When it is desired to display the articles within the cartonan disclose the printed matter upon the inner face of the lid 6, theportions 11' that connect the lid 6 with the top wall a ofthe carton aresevered and the lid turnedupwar'dly and rearwardly to the position shownin Fig. 4, after which the portions 13 that connect the free ends of thetongues 8 'wit'h the back Wall d are severed and these tongues 8 willthen be turned upwardly about the score '6-and their extensions or hooks9 engaged with the edges of the lid 6 to thereby securely hold the samein the position shown. in Fig. 4:.

The lid 6 is hinged and the tonguesS and 8 are hinged to the box'along the parallel scores 12 and 6, one in front of the other, and theparts are arranged to hold the lid upwardly and rearwardly inclined toeffecand the advertising matter on the lid. he tongues extend 'ges ofthe lid and 'extensions9 thereof hook over the edges 0' the lid and donot have to be inserted in slits therein. The tongues are so arrangedthat they securely hold the lid in raised position and donot interferewith or obstruct the advertisement displayed on the lid.
